Stacey-Marie Piotrowski grew up in Pittsburgh PA and spent some time alternating between academia and the open road, stopping in Chicago and New Orleans before accidentally settling in Athens GA and obtaining her BFA in Photography from the University of Georgia in 2012. Her concert portraits in particular have been used by a number of bands for promotional purposes both online and in print. She is also a writer and has been a sporadic contributor to the zine community for over a decade, currently publishing a literary nonfiction zine called Phases of the Moon.
